Experiences from the field…
Kala and Mwange Camps, Zambia. In Mwange Camp, school attendance increased after
school uniforms were distributed during 2003, confirming that the inability to afford uniforms
was a barrier to school attendance. Additionally, attendance declines seasonally (particularly
during the rainy season) as children join their families to farm in surrounding villages (one
of the few sources of income available to the refugees). Despite this evidence of a decline in
school attendance among poor families, it was concluded that school feeding would not be
appropriate in the camps, based on data showing attendance rates exceeding 80% and very
low prevalence of malnutrition. Assistance should be targeted instead to the poorest and most
vulnerable households.
